Puzzling. While true it's not a feedback loop, such shorthand description obscures the simple fact that on AB - aerodynamically an entirely conventional craft - to get higher AoA

The end result is a fixed correlation between AoA and force on the stick. During a commanded maneuver, the requirement for the A/C to resist a push towards the envelope's edge ever more aggressively is well satisfied.
